I know remote start is available with fordpass but my cell service can be spotty.
Having worked at a dealer I checked to see what the difference between an XLT & Lariat is.
It looks like not much BCM & RFA wise & they both use 434MHz for keys & TPMS
Ford keeps saying you need to install the vehicle security module kit to get remote start with the fob which is BULL because the software is already in the BCM & IPC for Fordpass remote start
I ordered a 434MHZ key with the remote start button from Ali Express ($36 Canadian) & programmed it in using my 2 original keys.
Didn't need any Forscan changes ,once programmed in it just worked exactly like a Lariat!
Only difference with the key is it doesn't have a Ford logo on the back.
Even came with a battery!
A lot less expensive than the security module way
